Link?

quote:Prior to 1989, the term "assault weapon" did not exist in the lexicon of firearms. It is a political term, developed by anti-gun publicists to expand the category of "assault rifles" so as to allow an attack on as many additional firearms as possible on the basis of undefined "evil" appearance

I've been afraid to say it but I still don't know what the hell an assault weapon is supposed to be. If it were all fully automatic weapons then I would understand but that's not it so I really don't know what qualifies as an assault weapon.
